Legalization is
the process through which a signature, seal, or stamp on a public document is
formally acknowledged as being authentic. The UK government can legalize UK
public documents such as birth, death, and degree certificates. The apostille
is another name for this Legalisation
of Documentation.
To have a
document from the United Kingdom legalized for usage, you must do three steps:
Contact the
Legalization Office and apply online for this service, Please be aware that
before submitting a document to the Legalization Office, it may be necessary
for it to be certified by a notary public in the UK. Please contact the Faculty
Office if you require a notary. Make sure to pay the UK courier fee before sending
your documents to the UK Legalization Office so that they can be forwarded to
the Embassy in London. Include a completed application form, a pre-addressed
envelope for the Embassy, and the fee payment for the Embassy.
Request that the Embassy in London legalize
the document
The original
document(s) must be forwarded to the Embassy in London for the next step in the
procedure after being legalized by the UK Legalization Office. The UK
Legalization Office will dispatch these on your behalf if you have previously
paid the courier price. Make contact with the Embassy to let them know when
your documents will arrive.
The Ministry of
Foreign Affairs, Legalization Division, must affix its stamp to the document(s)
before they can be used. British nationals are recommended to get in touch with
the local authorities to establish the requirements before conducting these
actions. Once these procedures are finished, it is not necessary for the
British Embassy to view or stamp these documents. This information is given as
a general reference and is based on data that the appropriate local authorities
submitted to the embassy. It is susceptible to change at any time with little
or no warning.
